All callers of the asm entry function guarantee that num_locals>=0, so no
need to add an explicit check for it. Use an assertion instead.
Also, the signature of asm_x86_entry is changed to match the other asm
entry functions.
For all but the last pass the assembler only needs to count how much space
is needed for the machine code, it doesn't actually need to emit anything.
The dummy_data just uses unnecessary RAM and without it the code is not
any more complex (and code size does not increase for Thumb and Xtensa
archs).
Tested on a STM32F7DISCO at 216MHz. All tests generating code (inlineasm,
native, viper) now pass, except pybnative/while.py, but that's because
there is no LED(2).
This patch gets full function argument passing working with native
emitter. Includes named args, keyword args, default args, var args
and var keyword args. Fully Python compliant.
It reuses the bytecode mp_setup_code_state function to do all the hard
work. This function is slightly adjusted to accommodate native calls,
and the native emitter is forced a bit to emit similar prelude and
code-info as bytecode.
Because (for Thumb) a function pointer has the LSB set, pointers to
dynamic functions in RAM (eg native, viper or asm functions) were not
being traced by the GC. This patch is a comprehensive fix for this.
Addresses issue #820.
